Ana I'm so sorry about your sis and BIL. I'm sending prayers that he finds another job pronto. And I hope your toe feels better soon. Gail sending hugs and positive prayers that your last treatment is an easy one.

I need to get ready to go back to work now. Have a good rest of the day.

Finallllly. The ding bat girl who kept saying that Hazmat would be there (this has been months) after she spilled some mercury while she was boxing up stuff, finally called and said Hazmat would be here today. They actually CAME!

The she called from across the street and asked if I had any bolt cutters or could my friend/tenant somehow break the lock on the gate (she couldn't open it). I'm assuming it's because the snake nasty guy changed it yet again. BUT since she said she had the keys to the house, I told her to just jump the stupid fence, open the door and then the Hazmat guys would believe she actually had the authority and access. Took me several stern, "jump the fence, unlock the door" until she finally did it. Dumb as dirt. The guys were just about to leave again.

But, happily, they donned booties and gloves and took some 'cases' into the house and came out about 1/2 hour later and put the cases into locked compartments, took off booties and gloves and bagged them and then had the gal do some paperwork then everyone left Hooray! That part of the convoluted scenario is over.

One less thing to worry about in Sorta's Neighborhood. Stay tuned for updates and don't forget...Film at 11.

Good afternoon everyone! It's certainly been a day here. As much as I love working from home, it really is a pain at times.

My neighbor's caretaker who speaks no English at all, not one word came over and banged my door. I know that banging because she is the only one that does that when the lady she cares for falls down. It happens a few times a year. The woman is severely mentally handicapped and is about 6 feet tall and a minimum of 350 pounds. Her caretaker is about 4'10 and 100 pounds wet. She held the womans feet to the ground while I leaned against a wall and hooked my arms under her armpits and picked her up. I felt like the people who pick up cars while under an adrenaline rush. The caretaker just kept bowing saying Namaste over and over. Bless her heart.

Merlin is not feeling well and we spent a large amount of time outside together while he was ill. Peter also has a hurting tummy and went to work. I hope he makes he through his shift.
